| Hey all.
This is my first post outside of my introduction thread and I'm just looking for some opinions on a lock-in prop/neg combo that I'm putting together and testing this week. I'll be using a ring for my prop because the hand/finger kino can be maximised, but this could easily work with any of your other peacock feathers.
Go easy on me by the way, I'm still relatively new to Gaming, but I'm quite confident, and willing to command a set.
So I'm thinking something along these lines, a few minutes into your set*
Make sure you're talking to her friend to begin with of course, and do things how you would normally to begin with. Then, when you've finished talking to the targets friend, You give your target an opportunity to start speaking, maybe ask her an question. Then after a few seconds, stop her from talking with a simple "Oh, hold on a second, before I forget what I'm about to ask.." then take off a bracelet, ring, hat anything you can use to give to her (I personally think a ring would be the best item to use). So request she puts out her hand, and place the ring in the center of her palm, then close her hand for her before telling her "Now, you hold this. And whilst you're holding it, you can't say a word. If you do, there'll be trouble. And when I take it off of you in a minute, you can speak again all you like. Deal?" as she goes to disagree or agree with you, you can cut her off by way of saying "AH-AH, you're holding the ring! Sh!"
Continue talking to the friend for a while longer, maybe take a chance to close a thread or start up a new one, then when you're finished you can either take the ring straight back again, or you can add in a comment to the friend like "Is she easier to handle like this? I can tell from that look on your face you're glad to have a break, right?" before taking your ring back and putting it back on. You can also congratulate her on not interrupting for however long you spoke for possibly.
Hopefully if you succeed with this you should've made a decent lasting impression, and definitely altered the values of the set. This prop usage also has a second part to it which can be used later into the set if you've managed to get your HB alone.
Take your ring off again. Then initiate kino by asking for her hand again. Whilst doing this say "Don't worry, this is a different one to earlier. Watch." Take the ring, slide it onto one of her fingers whilst holding her hand with your free one. You can neg here by commenting on the size of her fingers if you wish ("Geez, I hope I can get this thing off in a minute!"). Then when you've chosen which finger and put the ring on continue holding the hand. If you didn't neg about the fingers previously, you can hold her hand up and look at the ring on her fingers and make a comment about that (something like "Hey, this almost looks good on you!"). After making this, lower her hand and give her a quick IOI test before hand-throwing away, then tell the target that you'll be back in a couple of minutes, and that she has to look after the ring.
You then turn out, and walk away, go to the bar/etc maybe even go open another set, until you return to her, where you can get the ring back and continue as normal. Obviously don't forget to congratulate her upon retrieving the ring, but this would also make a good push-pull, as you can then lower the value of your congratulations, by adding something on like the ring being slightly sticky, or dirty.
*The beginning scenario would also work well if target had interrupted you, only you'd replace the opening with something such as "Now, that was very rude. But instead of coming down there and kicking your ass, I have a different idea..." before getting out the ring.
So, what do you think guys? Would this routine stand up well in the field? I'd like some pointers here and there if they're needed, as I'll be testing this one out this weekend! I get the feeling it may be too neg strong in places, but I'm really looking for some experienced opinions before I take it into the field.
Thanks all,
Spell
